Oye Oye ! My 4th edition of the "Paris Edits" on GAMM just got released, and is available now on vinyl.

A side : "Everybody, Free Your Body", a classic modern soul tune revised with a disco twist (originally "Get On Down" by The Dells).

B side : "Don't You Know, Baby", a soul/funk party banger, with more percussive drums (originally "Don't Cha Know" by L.T.D).

Both tracks have been edited, re-drummed, and re-mastered for a stronger impact on the dancefloor, but always keeping the essence of the originals.

Born and raised on the Southside of Chicago, Carl considers himself lucky to have come of age during the formative years of ‘this thing we call house’ in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s.  During that time, he was introduced to the power of dance music by the pioneering DJ collective Chosen Few DJs, which includes his childhood friend from elementary and high school, DJ Alan King.  Every school day, he and his classmates listened to music played on Alan’s ‘boom box’ in the school cafeteria and regularly attended parties featuring the Chosen Few (whose other original members are Wayne Williams, Tony Hatchett and Jesse Saunders, and now include Terry Hunter, Andre Hatchett, and Mike Dunn).   This was supplemented by listening to the short-lived Disco DAI radio broadcast and Herb Kent’s Punk Out weeknight radio show. Eventually, Carl’s obsession with the art form and the generosity of his parents landed him two belt-drive Technics turntables and a mixer.

DJ Carl Jenkins immediately joined the many Chicago teens clamoring to buy records and play music for kids (and a few adults) with an insatiable appetite for dance music that could not yet be consistently found on mainstream radio.  This joy of sharing music continued on through the early ‘80s during his college years at Washington University in St. Louis, MO. 

After graduating from college, the realities of adulthood (getting a job, paying bills and establishing a career) quickly pushed aside any time and money for deejaying…a prioritization that would continue through to the early 21st century.  During this time, Carl got his fix of soulful dance music by listening to his own record collection, recordings of old WBMX mixes, attending the occasional ‘old school’ dance party, and by attending the modest, but growing, Chosen Few Reunion picnic held behind the Museum of Science & Industry every summer (the picnic is now a premier event, attracting over 40,000 house heads from around the globe).

By the early 2000's, an explosion of new music being churned out by well-established and new producers, along with big-tent parties by the late Frankie Knuckles, caught Carl's attention.  Ultimately, the return of DJ Alan King to the house music scene served as a final motivation for Carl to begin collecting music and dust off his own skills. 

All mixes were recorded live in the home studio using two Pioneer CDJ 100s, or CDJ 850s, and a Pioneer DJM 600.  No digital computer editing or compression.

DJ Chill Pop is a dj from the late 80s. The 80's funk, breaks beats and hip hop music are his musical styles.

Chill Pop has made special appearances in most of the Clubs in Geneva but it was in 1991 where he really started sharing his passion by officiating in the Geneva Squats.

Since then, he has worked at festivals such as the Nyon festival, the Montreux jazz festival (the Jazz Café, the Cave Rock at the moment), the Cully jazz festival and of course all Geneva festivals are among his agenda.

Recognized for his superb craft also earned him some air time where during four years, he provided MIXES for radios One FM and Lausanne FM.

He occasionally mixes in Spain. La Coruña or Reina Sofia in Madrid.
